EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in history - the French occupation of Morocco in 1907. The image showcases the police station in Oujda, a border town between Morocco and Algeria during that time. The photograph, taken by an unknown photographer from the 20th century, is now part of a private collection. The scene depicts a military camp with soldiers dressed in their distinctive uniforms. They stand guard around the police station, emphasizing the presence of French forces in this North African region. The tent-like structure adds to the authenticity of this historical snapshot. The composition highlights both human figures and weaponry, symbolizing power dynamics during colonial times. It serves as a reminder of France's influence on Moroccan soil and its impact on Arab civilization. Stefano Bianchetti's contribution to preserving this piece of history cannot be overlooked. Through his lens, he has captured not only an important moment but also provided us with insight into early 20th-century Africa. This print offers viewers an opportunity to reflect on past events while appreciating the artistry behind it. It stands as a testament to our shared global history and reminds us how photography can serve as a powerful tool for documentation and storytelling.
